• B. =
• C. <

Answer 1

The correct option is B =

The given chart is



The data set is (Jonathan)

82, 75, 82, 96, 75

The mean of the data set is the sum of the data divided by the number of data values

Mean = $\frac{sumofalldata}{numberofdata}$

Mean = $\frac{82+75+82+96+75}{5}$

= $\frac{410}{5}$ = 82

Let us find the mean of Jameson's scores.

The data set is

95, 70, 75, 74, 96

Mean = $\frac{sumofalldata}{numberofdata}$

Mean = $\frac{95+70+75+74+96}{5}$

= $\frac{410}{5}$ = 82

Hence, the mean of the marks of Jonathan and Jameson are equal.
